Step One: make the batter

Put the oven on 375° degrees. Put the rack in the middle of the oven. Spray the loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Make the batter. To make the cake, mix the oil, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir until it looks like one color. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Pour some milk in too. Stir until everything is combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps. Add chocolate chips to the bowl and stir again. Pour the cake batter into a loaf pan.

Step Two: bake

Set the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 55-70 minutes. To see if it is done, stick a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, then it is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, then it is overcooked. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for five minutes before taking it out to cool on a rack. Let it cool completely before making the glaze.

Step three: make the icing

Get a bowl and mix all the glaze ingredients together (starting with the lesser amount of water). Keep whisking until it looks smooth. The glaze will be very thick and barely pourable.

Step Four

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Just mix until all ingredients are combined, and there may still be a few lumps.
  • Top with coarse sugar before baking if you don’t want to make the glaze.
  • If you don’t have milk on-hand, use 1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream in its place.
  • For best results, make sure your milk and eggs are room temperature. Cold ingredients don’t mix as well.
